Why not just save everyone the trouble and let people have gun battles in the street! We need an armed citizenry like we need a hole in the head, oh wait maybe we'll see more of that with more people carrying guns everywhere.
I love the idea of driving down the road, where an average joe has road rage and then pulls out his semi-right-to-bear-automatic and takes his aggression out on passing drivers! Or people get ticked in a Kroger and just no the guy in front is packing heat and wants to beat him to the draw!
Protection my ass. People who are fighting for the right to bear arms don't want to use it for hunting, they plan on shooting someone! Period! Oh not intentional murder, just you know for protection!
I bet if Jesus was alive, he would carry a gun. I challenge you to prove that he would be against guns if he existedQuote:

EDIT-yes, it was Jesus who said that to Johnathan
Jesus wasn't around in the Old Testament, so I doubt it was he who said 'eye for an eye' back in Exodus. Jesus makes mention of this Old Testament ideal when saying it is better to turn one's cheekQuote:

Also, why should we have to "fight" for a right THAT WE HAVE? :confused:
I stand for the right to bear arms... but I have no plans whatsoever in shooting anyone. In fact.. I dont even want to own a gun...Quote:

It is obvious (to me) that the intent of this amendment is to ensure that states may maintain a militia, NOT that everybody should have a closet full of the most powerful weapon of the day.Quote:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
It's obvious to me that people can still have a right to bear arms without having a right to have a closet full of the most powerful weapons available to anybody.Quote:
